A 15-year-old boy from a low-income neighborhood arrived with severe jaundice and fatigue. Dr. Saxena diagnosed autoimmune hepatitis through comprehensive serological testing. Despite financial constraints, she coordinated with hospital social services to ensure access to immunosuppressive therapy, leading to significant liver function improvement over 6 months.

A 3-year-old adopted child from an orphanage presented with chronic diarrhea and developmental delay. Dr. Saxena identified post-infectious lactose intolerance and nutritional deficiencies.
